If those hypocrites of Amnesty and other organisations aren't happy,they should give us money,then we will build houses for them.

France's treatment of its Roma community has once again come under fire in a new report from Amnesty International, which also takes aim at authorities for biased investigations into allegations of police violence.

The annual report from Amnesty International has highlighted some ugly aspects when it comes to human rights violations in France - most notably discrimination towards the Roma community.

It noted that more than 19,000 members of the Roma community lived in 429 make-shift settlements across the country and that of these, at least 11,000 were forcibly evicted last year - a controversial tactic that France has employed for many years.

Amnesty blasted France for vowing to provide a "long-term housing solution" for those who were evicted from camps, before apparently failing to deliver what it had pledged.

"On 28 February, an agreement was signed between the government and Adoma, a publicly funded accommodation provider, and some communities evicted from informal settlements were offered alternative housing," the report notes.

"In spite of these developments, most of the evicted individuals and families reportedly did not receive any alternative housing," Amnesty said.

The report specifically mentioned an incident from June when 400 people were evicted from a make shift camp La Parette in Marseille, with only 18 families offered alternative accommodation.

Amnesty also said there was evidence that incidents of violence and hate speech against members of the Roma community were motivated by discrimination, but this was ignored by France.

"Concerns remained that the authorities often did not take into account any alleged discriminatory motive in the investigation of these cases," the report read.

Migrant issues also featured prominently in the report, with the organization pointing out that despite French President François Hollande promising space for 500 Syrian refugees in 2014, less that 350 were given asylum. Amnesty pointed to the report of 85 Syrians being met by police at Gare de Lyon railway station in Paris and given one month to leave Paris - with no option of asylum.

The human rights organization also touched upon other problems in France, including incidents of Muslim discrimination, stating that France had more than once "failed to uphold Muslim women's right to freedoms of expression, religion, belief, and non-discrimination".

It also raised the issue that investigations into allegations of police violence were not "impartial".

"In 2013, the Defender of Rights, an independent public authority, dealt with almost 1,000 allegations of acts of violence perpetrated by police. However, concerns remained about the impartiality and thoroughness of investigations into these allegations by judicial authorities," the report said.

LOL...the gullible fools those hippies.Even if you give them free houses (like it was done during communist times in here) they'll just eventually turn them into pig stykes.
 
Amnesty would publicly claim OBL deserved rights and shouldn't have been killed by ST6, if that action was not so popular.

Over hyper ngo that wants to be taken seriously, but cant be in developed nations so uses it's "political power" to blast weaker nations.

What ? You didn't know that even if your country is in a economic crisis you still have to take everyone who knocks on your door in,pay welfare and build houses for them ? :o:

LMFAO,they even claimed that Bulgaria should do that to,you know Bulgaria who's economy is sinking like a rock.

Hope so one way or the other or else,the Amnesty type people won't rest until Europe is sunked at the bottom of the sea ,burdened by the weight of their stupid decisions.You see,even if all of Europe sends them back,maybe than we can deal with them like the commies did...f'uck human rights,a kick in the b'utt and go to work or take a beating and go to jail.
